Abstract

Provided are a method, performed by a first terminal, for adjusting a threshold for determining hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus for supporting the same. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting at least one piece of information to a second terminal; receiving, from the second terminal, at least one HARQ feedback in response to the at least one piece of information; determining an ACK or NACK with respect to the at least one HARQ feedback, based on the threshold; receiving, from the second terminal, an HARQ feedback transmission history of the second terminal; and adjusting the threshold, based on the HARQ feedback transmission history of the second terminal and information about the HARQ feedback determined by the first terminal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method performed by a first device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 transmitting, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); 
 transmitting, to the second device, data on the PSSCH; 
 receiving, from the second device, information related to hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) feedback in response to the transmission of the PSSCH; 
 decoding the HARQ feedback as an acknowledgement (ACK); and 
 determining the HARQ feedback as a negative acknowledgement (NACK) based on that a signal strength of the information related to the HARQ feedback is less than or equal to a first threshold, 
 wherein the first threshold is increased based on that a ratio that the first device determines NACK transmitted by the second device as ACK is higher than a second threshold, and 
 wherein the ratio is based on information related to a HARQ feedback transmission history of the second device, transmitted from the second device. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is adjusted based on a number of times that the first device determines the NACK transmitted by the second device as the ACK during a specific time period. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is adjusted based on a number of times that the first device determines that ACK transmitted by the second device as the NACK. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is adjusted based on a number of times that the first device determines that ACK transmitted by the second device as the NACK during a specific time period. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the HARQ feedback transmission history of the second device is received from the second device based on a request of the first device. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the HARQ feedback transmission history of the second device is periodically received from the second device. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is received from a base station or is pre-configured by the first device. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is adjusted based on an offset. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is adjusted between a maximum threshold and a minimum threshold. 
     
     
       10. A first device adapted to perform wireless communication, the first device comprising:
 at least one transceiver; 
 at least one processor; and 
 at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising: 
 transmitting, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); 
 transmitting, to the second device, data on the PSSCH; 
 receiving, from the second device, information related to hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) feedback in response to the transmission of the PSSCH; 
 decoding the HARQ feedback as acknowledgement (ACK); and 
 determining the HARQ feedback as negative acknowledgement (NACK) based on that a signal strength of the information related to the HARQ feedback is less than or equal to a first threshold; 
 wherein the first threshold is increased based on that a ratio that the first device determines NACK transmitted by the second device as ACK is higher than a second threshold, and 
 wherein the ratio is based on information related to a HARQ feedback transmission history of the second device, transmitted from the second device. 
 
     
     
       11. A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:
 at least one processor; and 
 at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising: 
 transmitting, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); 
 transmitting, to the second device, data on the PSSCH; 
 receiving, from the second device, information related to hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) feedback in response to the transmission of the PSSCH; 
 decoding the HARQ feedback as acknowledgement (ACK); and 
 determining the HARQ feedback as negative acknowledgement (NACK) based on that a signal strength of the information related to the HARQ feedback is less than or equal to a first threshold; 
 wherein the first threshold is increased based on that a ratio that the first device determines NACK transmitted by the second device as ACK is higher than a second threshold, and 
 wherein the ratio is based on information related to a HARQ feedback transmission history of the second device, transmitted from the second device.
